BERLIN. Yet another politician ends up the victim of an attack in Germany, in the middle of the election campaign, a week before the European elections: this time it is the Christian Democrat Roderich Kiesewetter. The CDU MP was beaten and slightly injured while he was at a voting stand in Aalen, Baden-Wuerttemberg. The local newspaper Schwaebische Post reported it.
The incident happened at 9.15 am in the market square in the center of Aalen. The alleged attacker is said to be a 55-year-old, known to the police, who according to the local newspaper belongs to a party close to an anti-system movement and is a candidate for the municipal council of the town which has less than 70 thousand inhabitants. Kiesewetter reported that he was first attacked verbally and then physically. The CDU parliamentarian was on site to give support to the party in the Land where, on 9 June, there will be voting for both the municipal and European elections. The latest attack in the Federal Republic dates back to yesterday, when a 25-year-old Afghan armed with a knife attacked several people at a gathering of an anti-Islamic civic movement, injuring six of those present, including a police officer (seriously). ) and one of the activists, Michael Stuerzenberger.
